Patient Reviews
May 26, 2022
Dr. Nfonsam has many years of practice under his belt. I consider him an expert surgeon, at this point. From the first time I met him, I intuitively knew he was the Doctor who would fix me. And he did! My life is back to normal! Thank you so much Dr. Nfonsam and team! It is apparent that Dr. Nfonsam is very busy and in high demand. I found him to be not only a practical surgeon but an extremely intuitive and very honest Doctor. Post surgery . . . his team was always there for me, answering my call and soothing my anxieties. In retrospect, I was kind of ridiculous sometimes in my concerns post surgery, but they still answered my calls and made time for me, every time. Dr. Nfonsam's team of Nurses are just as on it, real, and as compassionate as Dr. NFonsam. Even his receptionists were always so nice and understanding! Highly recommend this Doctor!!!
